A Drive in the Clouds: The Story of the Aerocarby Jake Schultz

This book celebrates the passion and dedication of Molt Taylor -- the very determined designer of a flying automobile named the Aerocar. In this, the only full account of the story ever written, you'll follow his project from its initial concept through full government certification, seeing its rising fame as it is featured in more than 500 articles and on television classics such as I've Got a Secret and What's My Line?. Created with material from Taylor's personal archives, this is an amazing and inspiring tale. 128 pages, approximately 100 B&W and color photographs, plans and illustrations, and more. 8.5"x 11", softcover.

If Schultz's name sounds familiar, its because he is also curator of the Newport Way Air Museum (okay, its just his home) and a collectSPACE member.

From his research for the book, Schultz shared this photo of Aerocar inventor Molt Talyor sitting inside his creation with Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong for a 1994 documentary:

Thanks for the posting Robert. It's been a 13 year effort to pull it together! What I had not expected when I started was that it would be such a enjoyable experience to research and be involved with...
